Default SS vs GTO

Just curious as to what you guys thought about this. Got a race tommorow night against a 04 GTO. Both mine and his car are stock; mine being M6 and his A4. Just wondering what you guys think the turnout should be. I'm thinking I'll get him by one. I'll post results when it happens. Thanks

Most likely, you will win, but he will be right behind you. Of course, a lot depends on your shifting skills though too.

I think bc you are lighter by about 300lbs and have basically the same HP (underrated SS's) and u have lower 3.42 gears, it will be a no contest. You will definatly WIN BIG!

I think he might actually have a TAD more. I am not sure though. He does have more horsepower going to the wheels though.

Thanks for the responses. I can launch the car pretty good and shifting isn't a problem. I raced my frined's 98Z with a few bolt ons and 342 gears from a 30 roll and by 5th I had 2 on him. He has an A4. Looking forward to the race and I'll post results. Thanks again.

Sorry, but the guy with the GTO cancelled. He now says he'll only race for money. What you guys think. Trying to pull something or overconfident? Thanks for any responses.

Racing for money is just a way to get the other person to back out. Why race for money? It's all in good fun.

Even if the GTO driver had the manual you still should be faster because of the weight difference. It will only be worst for the A4. If you shift smoothly you have nothing to worry about.

Not sure how much but he says it has to be for money to get him out to race. I wanted to just do it just for the fun of it but he wants to put money down. I think I'll ask for the emblems off his car and a little cash if I win.

He's either trying to get out of running you or he's a scammer with more under the hood than he's admitting.

Either way he's a loser...

Yeah, I agree. I appreciate the responses and help. I think I'll take him up on the offer and see how things go. Again, if things change or we do race I'll post results.

Watch he might have a stall speed converter. If he doe"s not you should win.

I'd ask for a look under the hood and scoop out what he has. If he won't go for that, then he's not even worth the time to talk about a race... just be sure to "happen upon him" on the street some time.
